Two selections for today. Like a lot of our selections lately, we beat SP on No Mean Trick by quite a percentage, he traded Evens in running and was worried out of a place.
Unfortunately Hugh Taylor recommended this selection at the same time we did, meaning the price crashed. I know a few of you got 9/1 from your e-mails but in the interests of fairness we'll settle at 8/1 guaranteed minus the rule 4 for Sir Boss - which also means 2 places paid only - the perils of each-way betting mid-winter.
The selections does have a really decent chance. She was over faced in Listed company, and probably needed a better gallop last time out when she failed to settle at all at Kempton. I think this track will suit much better, and there seems to be a couple of potential pace horses here which should ensure they don't go a crawl. I think the handicap mark is fair and her trainer tends to do really well with this type. I have little doubt there is improvement to come, the question mark really is getting her to settle and see out her races better. The booking of an in form 5lb claimer who seems to have a good feel for a horse is a major positive in my view.
3.40 Wolverhampton Blue Noodles 5pts win @ 6/1 (Totesport, Betfred, guaranteed, 11/2 generally guaranteed)
A dire contest. Blue Noodles is selected as a horse who gets further than this, with the ground riding slower than standard. His trainer has endured a really poor year or two, but there was encouragement to be gained from Blue Noodles run last time out as well as a 33/1 winner here for the stable last week. The selection was caught wide and suffered a bad trip last time out, but still found it within his grasp to make late ground on the leaders, finishing fourth in a race I would think of as much better than this one. This might be won or lost at the start, Barry McHugh is riding well and if he gets into a good position, I think the selection should win.
Profit & loss: day: -10.00 / month: -39.49 / year: -39.49
